Kracie Pharmaceutical's Participation in the 18th OTC Medicine Awareness Event

Kracie Pharmaceutical, a company specializing in herbal and general medical products, is set to participate in the 18th OTC Medicine Awareness Event, themed "Understanding and Correct Use of OTC Medicines", which will be held at the Kanda Myojin Cultural Exchange Center EDOCCO on October 3rd and 4th, 2025. This marks Kracie's third consecutive year at this significant event, having made its debut in 2023.

The OTC Medicine Awareness Event aims to disseminate knowledge about the role of OTC medicines in self-medication, emphasizing correct usage and understanding to contribute to public health improvement. Last year, the participation drew approximately 4,200 visitors over two days, showcasing a strong interest in self-care and OTC products.

During this year’s event, Kracie will introduce the "Hachimi Jiohgan" series, a line designed to alleviate frequent urination and nocturia, conditions that are becoming increasingly relevant as the population ages. Attendees can receive informational leaflets about this product series at the booth, alongside a chance to win novelty items by participating in a short survey (while supplies last).
